Milo Yiannopoulos is a charming devil and one of the worst people I know. I have seen the death of political discourse reflected in his designer sunglasses. It chills me. We met four years ago, before he was the self-styled most fabulous supervillain on the internet
, when he was just another floppy-haired right-wing pundit and we were guests on opposing sides of a panel show whose topic I don’t remember and can’t be bothered to look up. Afterwards we got hammered in the green room and ran around the BBC talking about boys. It was fun.
Since that day, there is absolutely nothing I have been able to say to Milo to persuade him that we are not friends. The more famous he gets off the back of extravagantly abusing women and minorities, the more I tell him I hate him and everything he stands for, the more he laughs and asks when we’re drinking. I’m a radical queer feminist leftist writer burdened with actual principles. He thinks that’s funny and invites me to his parties — via redwolf.newsvine.com

British rock band Queen are not happy with Donald Trump’s unauthorised use
of one of their songs during his campaign to try to become the US President.
Their hit We Are The Champions was used to introduce Trump on stage to cheering crowds at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio.
In a statement, the band said: An unauthorised use at the Republican Convention against our wishes — Queen
.
The song was played again when Trump’s wife Melania stepped on stage to give a speech, which was later mired in controversy over claims that parts of it were plagiarised from Michelle Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2008 — via redwolf.newsvine.com

This 1950s Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Eppstein Residence in Galesburg, Michigan, USA is the latest to hit the market. Actually, that should be returned to the market, as this was up for sale a while back. Seems like the sale might well have fallen through, as the house is up again, tempting us in with its low price tag. At least, in comparison to UK houses of similar stature.
The house is on The Acres, which contains four Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Usonian homes, along with two properties from Taliesin School fellow Francis Willsey. The idea was to create some kind of co-operative on the 70-acre site, with 21 houses, each on a one-acre plot, with excess land for communal use. Sadly that never quite came to fruition. But the houses that were build still stand, now with the added protection of being on the National Register of Historical Places.
This particular build dates from 1953 and looks very much like it has been restored to bring out the best of the place. It’s up for sale at $455,000 — via WowHaus
